Thank You. The one parts guy at the dealership in California was wrong then.
In regard to support from Zauto or Stinger I guess it depends on what type of support you are talking, if your talking support in regard to repairs if something goes wrong that’s somewhat unrealistic as they are not physically involved in the MOD but if your talking say technical support that’s totally different and one would expect.
I got a call from the service advisor yesterday (after I called and left a voicemail) and he asked if I could send him the installation manual for the stereo I was putting in. He said it would help the techs in determining what may have gone wrong. Instead, I emailed him exactly what I did during the process, as well as the link to the instal video stinger has for the heigh10.
That's how they gave you the Jeep to take home when they were finished with fixing it...?I got a call from the service advisor yesterday (after I called and left a voicemail) and he asked if I could send him the installation manual for the stereo I was putting in.

At 3:30 today he called and said the Jeep was done and I could pick it up before 6. The charge was for the quoted labor, $620, as provided the ECM. See the attached receipt and note the comments.
They still referred to the module as a “PCM” and that it was “fried”.
I intend to call and see if I can talk to the tech that worked on the Jeep and ask what the “pinched body harness” means.
Just curious what your guys’ thoughts are with this.
Almost forgot to mention what I found when I got into the Jeep when I picked her up. It seems as if they cut all of the zip ties holding the wires up under the drivers side dash area and left them hanging everywhere. This kinda pisses me off, because none of them were connected to anything on either end, and I had to push them up out of the way to drive (I didn’t bring any zip ties). Same on the passenger side. Rant complete.
Yep...
I can't see how anything you did would have "pinched" the body harness.
If I climbed in my Jeep after giving them that much $$$ for a repair and it looked like that I would have been pissed as well but I personally would have never left there lot, this is one of the main reasons I hate dealer service folks….lots of times they do a half assed job.I got a call from the service advisor yesterday (after I called and left a voicemail) and he asked if I could send him the installation manual for the stereo I was putting in.

Service advisor wasn’t there when I picked her up. I plan on waiting to complain about things until after they tell me exactly what was pinched during the instal. There is also a knocking under the Jeep now. Not sure what they would have been working on outside. Will have to crawl under.
Where does the “body harness” go? Center console? Under the drivers seat? Behind the uconnect screen?
This may help:
That’s super helpful. Thank you.This may help:
There is a blueish/purplish harness labelled body that appears to run across the dash area and down both sides of the vehicle.

I wish I had the option to watch them. I am working every minute I can to afford the bills and Jeep.
